Going to the High Line

Walk Up Apartments at New York's Upper West Side

Walk Up Apartments at New York’s Upper West Side

While my exploration of New York City has been rather haphazardly done. I would like to think that there is method in the madness. While I don’t do a systematic street per street exploration, I was trying to filter the “more important” ones first and leave the others for a subsequent and hopefully future visit. My visit to the American Museum of Natural History was part of the plan. I was planning to visit another place after that which happens to be somewhat near the museum. I was traveling alone now so I don’t have to worry about my friend’s feet hurting from all the walking I do. I do miss my friend a lot though.

Anyway, I needed to a few blocks more from the museum to get to the place. Fortunately, I had my trusty GPS with me. I got a local sim for data only so I was able to use the internet. I think it is a godsend as it would have been difficult for me to figure out the many streets of New York. As I was walking around, I noticed that the area here seems to be a bit classier than normal. I think they call this the Upper West Side. The buildings here seem to be better maintained and I would assume that the people living here are more affluent. If I could afford to live here, I would probably pick this place.
